Stories of vaccine-injured children

Given that the general public doesn’t accept that vaccines can injure, I decided to start a list of vaccine injuries (many of them written by parents). For simplicity, I’ve tried to classify each story into only one vaccine injury category (although many could be classified under several vaccine injury categories).

This is only the very tip of the iceberg. If you have a vaccine injury story, please share your story and/or a link to your blog so that I can add your story here. How many stories do we need to hear to start to believe the truth?

What strikes me as I’ve started to list these stories is how the vaccines have affected the brains of our children (death, brain damage, loss of consciousness, strokes, autism), in addition to increasing the suspectibility to infections. These stories provide a sad, vivid and harsh context for Dr. Blaydock’s scientific review, “The Dangers of Excessive Vaccination during Brain Development”. Not included in the list below is all of the many, many children who suffer with eczema, asthma, allergies, the risk of anaphylaxis, ear infections, ADHD, etc. They are not included in this list because the link is not as obvious to parents (it’s hard to tell if our children would not have had asthma or allergies if they had not received any vaccinations, especially given that children start receiving vaccinations at such a young age, at birth or two months old), but there are several scientific studies that have shown the link between vaccinations and these diseases. I have no doubt that my son is one of those whose asthma, allergies and anaphylaxis risk increased because of the vaccinations that he received. This is in addition to his obvious negative reactions to the MMR vaccination (despite the fact that we delayed until he was over three years old).

“A fact that cannot be debated, however, is that we have a national epidemic of sick children… We have come to accept asthma, allergies, eczema, chronic ear infections, and learning difficulties as ‘normal’ childhood conditions. In our zeal to eradicate infectious disease, it appears we have traded the usual mild diseases in childhood, such as chickenpox, mumps and measles, for a lifetime of poor health and drugs. We have exchanged temporary illnesses for pervasive life-long diseases, disorders, dysfunctions and disabilities. A chronic illness held in check by medication is not health. The well-being of children and a community must be gauged by more than high vaccination rates and low infection rates caused by a specific, short list of pathogens.”

Or, as Dr. Mercola puts it, “Today, half of all U.S. children are chronically sick with asthma, allergies, learning disabilities and other illnesses such as autism and epilepsy. That’s 32 million U.S. children who are sick all the time, every day”.

And a recent articles states that, “One in six U.S. children now has a developmental disability such as autism, learning disorders or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to new research from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention”.

Children who are most susceptible to vaccine damage are those children with compromised immune systems. In addition, if your family has a history of autoimmune disorders or are poor methylators (e.g., Alzheimer’s, depression), your child is at a greater risk for vaccine injury. More about this here.

***I encourage you to search the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). To date (as of March 6, 2012) the VAERS website has 387,333 vaccine reactions that have been reported. The actual number of adverse reactions will be much greater than this number. I have not summarized any of the information in the VAERS system. You can also search the National Vaccine Information Centre’s (NVIC) International Memorial for Vaccine Victims’ website, which lists 161 vaccine reactions to date.

Since the creation of the Vaccine Compensation Injury Program (VCIP) in 1988 (the same year mercury was added to most childhood vaccines), the program has paid $2,429,787,664.52 in compensation to neurologically injured children as of 2012. (Source: HRSA Vaccine Compensation Statistics). In fiscal year 2014 alone, the court granted $202 million to 365 vaccine-injury victims.

If stories don ‘t provide enough evidence for you, click on this link for 300 pages of peer-reviewed scientific abstracts culled directly from the National Library of Medicine’s pubmed.gov bibliographic database on the wide-ranging adverse health effects linked to vaccines in the today’s schedule (over 200 distinct adverse effects, including death), as well as numerous studies related to vaccine contamination, and vaccine failure in highly vaccine compliant populations (more info about this here).

Bentley’s story – six month old baby dies after receiving two doses of the DTaP, three doses of the oral rotavirus vaccine, two doses of the polio vaccination, the hepatitis B vaccine and oral polio vaccine in one day. Bentley died 5 days later.

Alexander’s story – diagnosed with brain cancer at 2 years of age; he died six months later

Amanda’s story, in addition to a one year old boy’s death after the MMR vaccination.

Christine’s story – 3 months old – received 4 vaccines (DPT OPT) at a “baby wellness” visit. Her daughter died within a few hours of receiving the vaccinations.

Max’s story – Max died at 22 months following vaccination drug interactions.

4 month old boy – health deteriorated dramatically following his 4 month vaccinations and he died shortly after turning one year old.

Matthew’s story – When Matthew was 5.5 months old, he received 8 vaccines, DTaP, Polio, Hib, Pneumococcal, Hep B and Hep A. He died in his sleep the evening following his vaccination.

A Stanly County 2-year-old suffered brain damage after getting a chicken pox vaccination in 2008. Two weeks later he developed seizures and was subsequently diagnosed with encephalitis, or permanent brain damage. Now 8, the boy is totally impaired. In December 2014, the court awarded the child lump sums totaling $1.9 million, plus annual medical expenses for the rest of his life.

Nicolas’ story – 4 months old – He passed away less than 3 days after receiving the 4 month vaccines (DTaP, IPV, Hib, PCV and Rota). “My son received his shots Friday morning and by late Sunday night- early Monday morning, he was gone.” The neuropathologist clearly stated that, in his opinion, vaccines were the likely cause of his death.

A total of 36 infants died after receiving the 6-in-1 vaccine, Infanrix Hexa. GlaxoSmithKline received a total of 1,742 reports of adverse reactions between October 23, 2009, and October 22, 2011, including 503 serious adverse reactions and 36 deaths. In addition to these 36 deaths at least 37 other deaths (sudden death mainly), bringing the total to at least 73 deaths since the launch of the vaccine in 2000. Read more here.

A scientific study published in Pediatrics 1998 found a causal relationship between the measles vaccine and permanent brain damage or death.

The study reviewed the claims to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program between 1970 and 1993. They found a total of 48 children, ages 10 to 49 months, who developed acute encephalopathy (i.e., brain injury) after receiving measles vaccine. Within this group, 8 children died, and the remainder had mental regression and retardation, chronic seizures, motor and sensory deficits, and movement disorders.

A list of several scientific studies linking vaccines with neurological disorders, including brain swelling here.

Lorrin’s story – Lorrin was 6 weeks old when she was injured by the DPT vaccination – multiple seizures and brain damage. “In 1998 we put Lorrin into a coma twice to stop her seizures, she then went on to have chronic lung disease. She was a quadriplegic, cortically blind, non-verbal, breathed through a tracheal diversion. She had 13 surgeries and countless procedures. I never left her side at the hospital and in 1998 alone, we spent 171 days in ICU… My little girl, Lorrin Danielle Kain, died in my arms at home December 22, 2009.” She was 16 years old. “Even though it was agreed that Lorrin was vaccine injured, it took three long years to settle with the NVCP regarding how much money my daughter’s life was worth.” “”In this time we learned that Lorrin received what is called a “Hot Lot”, that means that 30 kids had seizures or worse reported with the same lot that Lorrin had had, there were also 10 surrounding deaths. It is important to mention here that the drug companies back then and still do today, scatter the lots, when mailing them to the doctor’s office. Lorrin’s lot was scattered all over the United States so that the same doctor would not see all the vaccine reactions. This is legal and approved by our government”.

Julia’s story – MMR vaccination led to Julia’s permanent brain damage (the injury was acknowledged by a federal court payout). “She was blue and cold and her body was arched, her eyes were looking in opposite directions, and she was covered in feces and vomit,” she recalls. “We thought she was dead.” She was rushed to the hospital, where doctors said she was having seizures, and she was put into a medically induced coma. Julia spent many days in intensive care and the neurology ward before being sent home with the diagnosis of encephalitis, or swelling of the brain.

Katie’s story – 18 months old – received DTaP vaccination. “Within days my sister was hospitalized with encephalitis (yes, she is your one in a million). Doctors said the swelling in her brain was so severe that the lining between the brain and the skull had literally fused to her skull. Since then my sister Katie has suffered from daily seizures and has progressively gotten worse as the years go by. Multiple pneumonias yearly due to the loss of being able to swallow without aspirating. Brain surgeries, a bought with life threatening sepsis that left her on life support in 2012 are among the many things she has had to endure. My sister is resigned to a hospital bed and now requires a feeding tube and 24 hr care.“

Albert, Andrew and Marco’s story – Marco’s recorded clinical symptoms, which had appeared after the Sabin polio vaccination and correlated through the pediatrician to the anti polio vaccine, were as follows: ocular nystagmus, tremors and speech defects. He died at the age of 6.

The day following their vaccination, Albert and Andrew’s health deteriorated, and they were eventually diagnosed with “Metachromatic Leukodystrophy Type” (a disease related to the nervous system). Andrew died shortly thereafter.

Dallas’ story – My oldest son, Dallas was 14 months old when he developed a neurological tic and eye problems, related to vaccines. After taking him to dozens of doctors I got no diagnoses. All the neurologist told me they had never seen this before. He is 29 years old and still has this tic and very bad eyesight and severe headaches.

Julia’s story – 12 months old – MMR-V and Hepatitis B – unconscious for 10 days, was diagnosed with encephalitis. Severe temporal sclerosis over the right side of her brain. More areas of “less” severe injury in both frontal lobes of her brain. When she left, she was severely left sided hemiplegic, was aspirating food unless thickened, was unable to sit up or roll over, was nonverbal, and screamed and cried 22 out of 24 hours a day. Back again to not sleeping for over three years.

Carolyn’s story – Carolyn was was once a major her her town. She was vaccinated for tetanus, Hepatitis A and B, and typhoid. Two days later she was left with debilitating brain damage, paralyzed and unable to speak (except she can manage a yes and no at times). Her husband received a $74 million settlement.

Angelica’s story – Angelica was 3 months old when she developed life-threatening seizures and brain damage just three days after getting several vaccinations. She was diagnosed with with brain injury or encephalitis. And in 2006, the little-known federal “vaccine court” agreed, awarding Angelica nearly $2 million plus about $250,000 a year for medical expenses for the rest of her life. Today, Angelica is 14 and profoundly disabled. She has cerebral palsy and a seizure disorder. She is unable to speak. She uses a feeding tube and a wheelchair. Because she requires around-the-clock attention, her parents quit their jobs to care for her.

Jodie’s story – when Jodie was 14 months old, she illegally received 8 vaccines in one injection (her parents refused DTap and any others, but it was given to her anyway, in addition to MMR). “Within minutes after Jodie was vaccinated, she started shivering and shaking, was taken home, had high-pitched screams, suffered a high fever and stopped eating right away. Her parents were told by the doctor that she had a virus and not to worry. This was the day she was left permanently disabled and would never again be her normal self.” She needed around the clock care and she was also diagnosed with autism. She has convolusions and is disabled for life.

Several stories of vaccine injury related to DPT and DTaP vaccines, including a 22 year who is now profoundly mentally handicapped as a result of childhood DT vaccination (scroll down).

Vaccine injury: Coma

Kash’s story – one year old vaccines – coma for 10 days; at two years old still doesn’t have many spoken words, and continues to see a neurologist and several other specialists; will need special education.

One year old boy – story is at the bottom of the page, after the description of the research conducted by Dr. Andrew Moulden about how vaccinations can cause micro vascular strokes.

Vaccine injury: Severely disabled

Eric’s story – 6 months old – DPT vaccine – within a few days started having up to 80 seizures a day. At 20 years old, he is severely disabled.

“…A dear friend would take back her personal decision to vaccinate in a heartbeat if it could bring her son back to her. As a healthy and energetic toddler of nearly two years old who was walking and running, he was vaccinated for MMR and within 24 hours had begun stumbling and falling over. Within a week he was unable to move and was confined to a wheelchair. He died prematurely as a young teenager. His mother is firm and unmoveable in her belief that it was the vaccine that caused the damage.” – Source (see What a Gem’s comment)

“Once upon a time, i was all for vaccines too….until the unthinkable happened. My baby with no history of seizures…has a routine well-visit a few days after celebrating her 1st birthday….receives several vaccines…one being the chicken pox shot (a LIVE virus)….suddenly becomes spaced-out and lethargic…before falling over with seizures. Seizures that were so bad…that the neurologists said, they “could not pinpoint which part of the brain the seizures were coming from…that it was like bombs going off all over the brain.” Her brain was literally on fire. Now she is developmentally disabled. She has come far…very, very far….but she is now 5…and still wears diapers…she just recently began to drink from a straw…she cannot dress herself… is non-verbal…and seizures are not fun. I will not choose to vaccinate either of my children ever again…the thought of the possibility of my other child having an adverse reaction scares the crap out of me…and i simply cannot risk having another disabled child. Someone once said to me…”Yeah, but…she needed the chicken pox shot to protect her from getting the disease!”…and all i could think was…Really?…a disease that i and many kids i knew had growing up and we are all still here to talk about it today? I am sorry…but when this happens to you, your view changes. My daughter not only had too many shots in such a short period of time…but she reacted very badly to the vaccine with 1 live virus…i dont even want to think about what would have happened had she received an MMR which has 3 live viruses.”

Vaccine injury: Seizures / Epilepsy

A list of scientific studies documenting the link between vaccines and seizures and convulsions here.

The Morales Crew – Eden’s story; also read her story here. 4 months old – 7 vaccinations in 3 shots. Brain swelling (encephalitis cries). Five years later, she still has absence seizures.

“My second child developed Epilepsy & Sensory Processing Disorder @ the age of 3 1/2 & I believe this was connected to the MMR vaccine although I can’t prove it.”- Source (see Rebecca’s comment on April 8 at 4:18 am)

“Another friend got her baby immunized, and several days later went into seizures. She has not come out of the hospital, and it’s been several months. Her aluminum and mercury count is high.”

Vaccine injury: Encephalitis cries

Keelen’s story – one year old vaccination – Pediarix (a combination shot containing 5 vaccines: Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Polio, and Hepatitis B), Hib, and Pneumococcal – encephalitis cries (cries due to brain swelling) – was never the same again (constant pain, inconsolable, head banging)

Vaccine injury: Encephalopathy

Nichole’s Recovery – “Nichole was born on September 7, 2006 and at four months old, I took her to the health clinic to get her vaccinations, my whole life turned upside down. Nichole had acute reactions to the DTP vaccine. The DPT vaccine has been linked to brain damage, neurological damage, sudden infant death syndrome, and death. Nichole reactions 30 mins. of receiving the DPT vaccine were: she became lethargic, she was drooling excessively, and her whole body started shaking in my arms, which I found out later, Nichole was having seizures…. Her diagnosis include encephalopathy of unknown etiology with microcephaly, cortical visual impairment, GERD, global delay, spastic tera paresis, and failure to thrive with g-tube placement. Nichole’s seizures have continued to be problematic and difficult to control.”

Robyn’s story – Hepatitis B at birth, 2 month 7 vaccines – feel into a deep and unwakeable sleep and when he woke up – encephalitis cries (aka DTaP scream) due to brain inflammation. Child developed eczema and life-threatening allergies.

Vaccine injury: Autism Spectrum Disorder

1 in 100 vaccinated children are diagnosed with autism

Only 1 in 10,000 children in an unvaccinated Amish population in northeastern Ohio is diagnosed with autism.

A scientific paper “Theoretical aspects of autism: causes — a review” states that “Documented causes of autism include genetic mutations and/or deletions, viral infections, and encephalitis [brain damage] following vaccination [emphasis added]. Therefore, autism is the result of genetic defects and/or inflammation of the brain.” Read the abstract to Ratajczak’s paper here and a CBS news article about the paper here.

Read over 1,000 vaccine injury stories submitted by parents at the “Following Vaccinations” website here. Most of the adverse reactions following vaccinations reported by parents on this website is autism spectrum disorder.

Autism Wars – Gavin was healthy for a whole day… He got his Hep B vaccine when he was a day old and his life of sickness began. The assault on his immune system began. His body began attacking itself. He developed Eczema all over his body. The food he was eating became a foreign invader… an allergy to wheat and milk. He was primed for future vaccine injury. His brain swelled –not enough for us to notice with our eyes, but enough to cause him pain that left him screaming and crying for two days. He now has Chiari Malformation (more common in the autism population than general population) and Epilepsy –along with his “autism”.

Chandler’s story (Adventures in autism) – 18 months – “After Chandler’s diagnosis I went back and watched home videos to find out when things started changing for him. We had a gap in our video’s between my older son’s birthday in September and Halloween. It was clear that he had changed sometime during that time. After watching the videos I checked his shot record and found that Chandler had been vaccinated just before the gap in the video, five weeks before Halloween.”

Eve’s story – 20 months old – “Eve received her fourth DT DTP vaccine, her fourth Prevnar vaccine, her third polio vaccine, and her first MMR at the same time. This occurred within days of ending another round of antibiotics. Although we can never prove it because we didn’t go to the hospital that night, nor were the proper tests done the following day, the description of what Eve experienced that night is identical with a condition called “encephalopathy”. That’s a fancy word for brain inflammation and swelling. A high-pitched scream, an arched back, and neurological damage afterwards are a textbook description of the condition….” Eve was eventually diagnosed with autism. “March 27, 2001, I brought a healthy, beautiful, vibrant baby into this world. Over the next 18 months she got sicker and sicker, all the while no one doing anything to make her better, and on November 15, 2002, the daughter I once had…the child she was meant to be, basically died. The baby girl I had given birth to was gone, but not.”

He has additional diagnoses of Hypotonia, PANDAS, MTHFR mutation, immune dysfunction, speech delay, fine and gross motor delay.

Lane’s story – 20 months old – 6 vaccines – “We lost that little happy, healthy toddler to a blank staring, hand flapping, no eye contact, no words, just meltdowns from hell.”

Leyo’s story – 18 months old – 2 vaccines (including diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough). “Within days, he had hives and joint swelling to go along with a fever.

Vaccine injury: Juvenile Diabetes

Another chronic autoimmune disorder that is on the increase in multiple vaccine recipients is juvenile type 1 diabetes. In New Zealand, there was a 60% increase in juvenile diabetes following a massive hepatitis B vaccination program for newborns. In Finland the incidence of juvenile diabetes increased 147% in children under five after the introduction of three new vaccines for children in the late 1970s. Then, in the late 1980s, addition of a live MMR vaccine and an experimental vaccine (Hib) resulted in another 62% increase in the incidence of juvenile diabetes in children 3 months or older who received the new multiple vaccines (source).

Grayson’s story – 12 month vaccinations – “Grayson reacted to his 12 month vaccinations for an entire month, non-stop. Doctors really had the gall to tell me that each of these incidents was unrelated to one another and/or the vaccinations. He was tested for diseases such as EBV, Lyme, arthritis and even leukemia. I’m sorry, but 4 live viruses should never have been injected into my baby in one sitting and I have since learned that he probably never handled his vaccinations well, because as I look back on pictures, I see one of his eyes turned in slightly, his lip not quite in line symmetrically with the other side and as we progressed through his vaccination schedule, his personality changed. He changed.”

Theo – five months old – (a friend’s son) developed pneumonia and an ear infection after receiving the pneumococcal vaccine.

When researchers in New Zealand compared the rates of asthma in children that did not receive multiple vaccinations to rates in children receiving multiple vaccinations, those children who did not receive the vaccines did not present with asthma; whereas 23% of children receiving multiple vaccines had to have asthma consultations and 30% had consultations for other allergic illnesses (source).

A child with Hyper IgE syndrome “became sick at 2 months of age, which is immediately after his first whooping cough vaccine. I can’t prove that was a cause, but I strongly suspect it exasperated his problems. We gave him a whooping cough booster two years ago, and 24 hours later he became unbelievably sick. His asthma was out of control, he could not get out of bed and his skin flared all over. It took a lot of careful homeopathy to get him through that. If it weren’t for the homeopathy, he would have been in the hospital.”

“One more girl” – documentary on the harm caused to teenage girls due to the HPV vaccine.

“My daughter had her shots in 2009. Before all this happened, she was a normal girl with a normal life. She was healthy and led a completely normal life for a teenager. She has had injuries ever since the first shot. In the beginning we didn´t know it was the HPV vaccine causing her headaches, nausea, stomach aches and so on. As time went by, it only got worce, and no one seemed to be able to tell us what was wrong. Not untill she had fainted a couple of times. A friend, who is also a nurse, asked me if she had had the HPV vaccine, and told me to look it up on the internet. I went home and googled “injuries from Gardasil” I was thrown over by all the videoes and post from all over the world. It was so sad to see. I immediatly knew, that this is what is happening to my girl. There was not any doubt in my mind. Still she got worce for each time she fainted, wich happened on an average of once a month. It was just for a few seconds each time, but afterwards, she couldn´t do anything but stay in her bed for 2-3 weeks. We stoped going to the hospital everytime it happened, because no one would listen. I have yelled and argued with so many doctors on so many occasions, but nothing helped.” – Watch video here.

Abbey’s story – 13 years old – immediately following the vaccination, “she had seizure-like jerking, rolling eyes, blurred vision, headache, nausea etc.”. Six months later: “Abbey is not attending school because of the illness…The vision problems, chest pains and stroke like symptoms continue!!”.

“”The FDA also received over 2,400 adverse event reports for hepatitis-B vaccine in children in that same time frame, culminating in death, hospitalization, or prolonged disability. Add the reports for adults and the number swells to 27,000 serious reactions to the vaccine. With all camps in this debate in agreement that ten percent or fewer of adverse events ever get reported, this means that the vaccine may kill or disable thousands more than the disease itself.” Read full article here.

“I am the mother of a vaccine-injured child. My daughter is 17, so she is soon to be a vaccine-injured adult.For the last 17 years I have watched my daughter’s health evaporate as if into thin air. As an infant, she was slow to gain weight and was diagnosed with “failure-to-thrive.” She was intolerant of milk, had mysterious rashes and “fevers of unknown origin.” She was very prone to ear infections and had two sets of tubes placed in her ears.” Read her entire open letter here.

Major Sonnie Bates’ story – He noticed that dozens were extremely ill following the anthrax vaccine. Autoimmune disorders, but all had some common link. He approached his commander and said that he would refuse the vaccine. The military threatened him with a court martial and 5 years in prison. He refused to take the vaccine and made headlines around the world and appeared on 60 minutes. Anthrax vaccine has disabled and killed thousands and is the direct result of Gulf War Syndrome.

Vaccine manufacturers have paid out nearly $2 billion in damages to parents in the US. In all, around 2,000 parents have received compensation payments that average $850,000. Sadly, since the Vaccine Injury Compensation Payment (VICP) have not awarded settlements to any parents of children with autism because they refuse to recognize any link between vaccinations and autism (Source: New England Journal of Medicine, 2007; 357: 1275-9).

You can report a vaccine reaction to the US National Vaccine Information Center NVIC.You can also search the NVIC Vaccine Reaction Database. NVIC is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1982 by parents of vaccine-injured children.

Wow I just don’t know if I can read those all at once. My baby Luke, now 19 months, had all shots up to 6 months. ( I think I’ve told you before). Then I started reading your blog and some other things and I decided not to continue. I’m now pregnant with my second and I’m going to need to decide what to do again. Its so hard ng raised conventionally and being taught that vaccines are good and necessary to think the other way. My midwife who is also a naturopath gave me a bunch of reading, so I must read and decide what’s best myself. I just am in shock still after almost a year that no one is even adressing these problems- like government studies? It’s not ok to poison children. They are precious.

Hi Cassie: It’s depressing, isn’t it? I know that there are so many more and this is just the tip of the iceberg….

I agree that it’s hard when the conventional wisdom is that vaccinations are not only safe, but helpful. So great that you are doing reading and that you have have a midwife who is also a naturopath! Listen to your mother’s intuition on this one too.

Thank you for including our Eden’s story. I hate that she is a statistic, but thankful that our mistake has lead me to become extremely informed and outspoken on this topic in hopes that other children will not be harmed by vaccines.

Thank you for putting this together. I cant read them, I find them so saddening. I know, personally, too many families effected by vaccines. I met the young woman dx’d with adult onset autism, I’ve see the results. The chronic GI problems, the head banging, the self destructive behavior of these vax injured children. And I am appalled. When does it stop? Thanks again for being a voice. May I link to your blog from my own?

First, thanks for the link back to my site. Second, I myself have been injured by vaccines back when I was a baby.
My mom, as (I imagine) did lots of other moms, consented to the vaccinations because the doctors told her it was necessary. (Calif. state law?)

I just stumbled upon this site. My son was vaccine injured recently. We don’t know what the outcome will be as we are still in the beginning stages of our journey (or should I say nightmare). We are working with a naturopath in hopes that our son will recover.

Hi Kristen: So sorry to hear about your son’s recent vaccine injury. I think it’s great that you are working with a naturopath who is using homeopathy. We are using Heilkunst homeopathy and have been finding it very helpful, and I’ve read that many other parents have helped recover their children with sequential homeopathy (Heilkunst, CEASE, etc.) and biomedical techniques. I wish you well on your journey. I know that it’s not an easy one, but I do feel that there is a lot of reason to feel hopeful.

I met a vax injured child about 10 years ago. She was epileptic and severely brain damaged. The case was won.
Right before it was time to vaccinate my first born, I remembered that child. Thank goodness!! I have been researching ever since. The pediatrician was tolerant of my decision, but reminded me of the pertussis outbreak in CA.
While researching, it is so depressing to hear just how angry people get at the unvaccinated. I’ve been jumped on already by close friends and a friend of one. They cannot be reasoned with, in the name of science, herd immunity, and the greater good. I would never chance my child’s life for anothers. Sorry. They are just
lucky they survived the roulette.
Thank you for this site. I’m so very sorry for
those suffering. Anecdotal evidence is real evidence when it proves itself again and again.

Oh my God ,, i am in tears for my son who is now 29 yrs old.. he was affected by these vaccines i know and torched i say in the emergency room when i ttook him in at 8 mos old.. they tested him for everything under Gods heaven and diagnosed him with asthma.. my son was healthy till he took these DPT immunizations.. he did poorly in school and to this very day is the most unhappiest individual you will ever meet.. He is in such a depressed state. and i cry for him ..He has no work history because he cannot hold any job.. he has no education and says or calls himself dumb…

Linda: So sorry to hear about your son. Thank you for being courageous and sharing his story. If you have the resources, I really believe that sequential homeopathy (like Heilkunst homeopathy) can help. Or a good naturopath. Let me know if I can help in any way…

Please I dont know where else to go. If you or anyone has any ideas as to what we should do email me @ sahm@roadrunner.com please.. her story is on facebook.com/helpingana we have no idea what is wrong with her. and others are starting to think it is from vaccines…. please help this 4 year old. this is the only thing the doctors are not and will not and have not tested for is vaccine injury

Hi Bridget: It’s hard to say from your description on your FB page whether it is related to a vaccine injury. Did your daughter’s illness seem to coincide with a recent vaccination?

Your doctors probably can’t and won’t test for a vaccine injury (I’m not sure if there is such a test). Most doctors will not agree that anything is related to vaccines.

I feel that sequential homeopathy can help (like Heilkunst homeopathy), if you can find a practitioner in your area. Or, many will do distance sessions over the phone and can send you remedies. It can be a bit pricey (I know that money is tight for your family), but if you can somehow make it work, I think it would be helpful.

If you have any other questions, please let me know. I hope that you can find something that will help your daughter and will find the answers that you are looking for.

Link to study article that finds delaying DPT vaccine decreases incidence of asthma:http://www.medscape.org/viewarticle/572891
This article also discusses how vaccines encourage a TH2 immune response which is the slanting of an immune system prone to allergy/asthma.

I vaccinated my son up until he was 10 months old – he probably had as many vaccines at that point that I had had by 10 years of age, maybe more. I wish I would have not done that or at the very least delayed and not stacked the vaccines.

Most doctors don’t even know what the ingredients are in the vaccine (what the suspensions are made of… derived from things like dairy, peanuts….). It’s amazing to me that we can read what is in a box of cereal that we put into our mouths, but are not given that option when it comes to what goes directly into our children’s blood streams.

Of course no one wants to watch their child suffer through a disease, especially when we are pumped full of fear that it can be deadly… but why are vaccinations not prefaced with the same dire warnings?

I hate to be a conspiracy theorist – but big pharma is well… big, pervasive, penetrative, powerful…

It’s a tough call – in an ideal world each child/person would have a personalized vaccination suggestion schedule based on an in depth understanding of their bodies and appropriately timed to allow their systems to adjust. And for some people the recommendation could potentially be – “…well, given what we know about your body – mumps for you could be a good thing so let’s not vaccinate.” But alas it is not so – just as we raise our foods in factory farms – we raise ourselves in factory lives. No thought, just step up and get your injection.

I completely understand what it is like to have a child with a vaccine injury. My oldest son got the first MMR shot when he was around three. Only four days later he started screaming and beating his head on the wall and biting himself. I took him to three different doctors and they all told my that my fears about the shot were unfounded and that my son was fine. I was beyond frustrated. I started working with him myself and was able to bring back some of who he was before the shot. Every one around me, even those who are close to me, tell me that he has autism. I don’t believe that he does. I am certain that he has a brain injury as a result of the MMR shot. I have recently discovered doterra essential oils and I am going to try using frankincense oil to see if I can get his brain to wake up and heal itself. That is one of the same oils given to the Christ Child. My prayers go out to all of you who are going through the same problem or worse. My youngest has adhd and I use a blend of oils on him and he is a normal clam and happy child with them. I am hopeful for similar results with my oldest. I recommend them to anyone with problems.

In 1995 while we were living in New Zealand my daughter then ages 13, my son ages 11 and myself aged 40 were given a course of 3 Hep B Injections. My daughter became very ill and slept for a couple of months and was in constant pain. she was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and CFS the following year and still has it now. My son has an intelectual impairment with behavioural problems, his behaviour became extreme and he ended up being medicated 24 hours a day on Ritalen and Prozac during the day and Mogadon at night. My health had been excellent up until then and I developed Arthritis, it started in my fingers and I have recently found at that I have no cartilage left in the joints in my hands. I have Erosive Arthritis and Calcium has destroyed the Cartilage in my hands. I recently had a Genetic DNA test done on my Saliva and I have NO Genetic predisposition for Arthritis ! none of my relatives have Arthritis.

Hi Jan: Thanks for sharing your heartbreaking story. I wish your family didn’t have to go through what you are now living. I do feel the sharing stories like yours helps others to learn the truth. I have found that sequential homeopathy (Heilkunst) helped to reverse the effects of vaccinations for my own son…

Thank you, our story is even more complex. We are now led to believe that my daughter has Lyme disease as well and has had it for at least 25 years ! My children have been damaged by vaccinations, mercury fillings and years of antibiotics. I have fought really hard to get them as well as possible, learning Kineaseology (muscle testing), I use Homeopathy, nutrition, vitamins, flower essences and I even make up my own herbal capsules. I have tried basically every alternate method of trying to make my children well that I could find which is why they are virtualy medication free but we are not finished yet !

I have not heard of Hielkunst Homeopathy before how is it different to regular homeopathy ? Another turning point for our family was seeing a Dr Doris Rapp on a talk show 20 years ago, I purchased her book (Is this Your Child) and it was a god send ! I have continued to use the things that she recommended ie sodium Cromalglycate, Calcium Carbonate, Sodium Bicarb, Antihistamines, Digestive Enzymes plus nutritional support. Plus epsom salts in the bath. Plus anything else I could think of lol.

After reflection and finally remembering the holiday 25 years ago when my children and my now ex husband were all bitten by ticks I have just realised that was when my daughter’s anxiety and panic attacks appeared, and my son went from being placid to a child with extreme behaviour problems I blame. I believe that their immune systems were already compromised by vaccinations and this was the start but by no means the end of the damage done to them. I believe the Hep B Vaccines caused the Lyme to flair up and have affected and continue to affect our lives, every day is a struggle. Where can i find a Homeopath in my area Western Australia who does Sequential Homeopathy ? I am determined to improve my children’s lives. Interestingly I believe that my then husband remains well even after the tick bite perhaps because he had less vaccines as a child and his immune system is stronger!

There’s no one in Australia practicing, but there is someone in New Zealand, and all of them can do distance consultations. Most of my consultations were through distance. They will mail you the remedies required. A friend one mine in Australia was receiving Heilkunst treatment from someone in Canada, I believe.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. I really believe that my son is doing so well overall as a result of this treatment.

Hi! I was wondering how you all used muscle testing? I was reading that a few of you use that! I am a physical therapist and am very interested on how it is being used in a holistic manner, as I am also into essential oils, prayer, and well HOLISTIC health. Thank you and God Bless!
